Problem on entry_points when package and module have the same name

[eamanu]

Hello Everybody,

I have the next simply test_eamanu.py file:

def main():
    print("Hello World!")

if __name__ == '__main__':
    main()

And the next simply setup.py:

from setuptools import setup

setup(
    name='test_eamanu',
    packages=['test_eamanu],
    entry_points={
        'console_scripts':[
            'test_eamanu=test_eamanu.test_eamanu:main'
        ]
    }
)

Whole is in this tree structure:

.
├── test_eamanu
│   ├── __init__.py
│   └── test_eamanu.py
|__ setup.py

When, I run python setup.py install the script finish successfully, but the "command" test doesn't work.

Workaround

To avoid this problem I have to rename the package to src. So, the setup.py is the next:

from setuptools import setup

setup(
    name='test_eamanu',
    packages=['test_eamanu],
    entry_points={
        'console_scripts':[
            'test_eamanu=src.test_eamanu:main'
        ]
    }
)

@eamanu I can't reproduce this issue.

I created a repo for it, and it works just fine:

Hello World!

I'm going to close this for now, but if you think I've made a mistake attempting to reproduce this, let me know and I can re-open it.

That said, I'm a big fan of the src layout, so if this is some bug that was caused by something happening in your local directory that was fixed by using a src layout, let me know, because that's more fuel for the fire. 🔥🔥🔥
